DAYTON, OH - Now that the Miami Valley has had its first real blast of winter with more on the way, Dayton Power and Light (DP&L), which provides power in northeastern Warren County, has several winter weather precautions residents can take to be prepared, many of which apply to everyone.  The most damaging winter weather is freezing rain and high winds, which can take down trees and power lines.

In any emergency, safety should always be the top priority, especially when dealing with electricity. 

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - About 7000 Duke Energy electric customers, 4200 of them in Butler County, lost power Thursday night after a line of storms moved across the Tri-State. 

Most of the outages were reported in the north and northeastern parts of the county, with Duke reporting two outages at 9:00 p.m.

OREGONIA, OH (FOX19) - Camp Kern hosts more than 500 children for both indoor and outdoor activities and despite all the hot temperatures hitting the region the camp says this is one of it's busiest weeks.

"You plan for hot days and so we've done that with our program to prepare for it," says Executive Director Jeff Merhige.

The plan at Camp Kern is more time in the pool and plenty of water.

To stay out of the sun, outdoor activities are being re-scheduled for cooler times dur
